Thierry Henry names the player he feared at Man United

Paul Scholes was the most feared Man United footballer.

Thierry Henry have been thinking about Arsenal’s infamous rivalry with Manchester United during his time.

The Frenchman was a major factor in all of those games and was recently named an inaugural inductee of the Premier League’s new hall of fame alongside Alan Shearer.

He believes Paul Scholes should be the next Premier League’s third hall of fame inductee.

Henry reveals how Arsenal were most afraid of facing Scholes whenever they faced Manchester United.

“I’m also a Steven Gerrard lover, as you know, and he knows that too, but Paul Scholes,” Henry said.

“Listen, when we used to play Man United, and you guys know the team they had, how great they were, every time we played them, we wanted to stop him.

“He was making the team tick. In that team.

“That first pass to the striker, coming and joining and then smashing the ball in from 25 yards, off Dwight Yorke or Andy Cole.

“We were scared of him. I’m not saying we weren’t scared of the others but him first and foremost.

“‘Let’s stop him’ – if you stop him, you stop a lot of Man United and that speaks volumes about that because they had a great team.”
